IBS students and staff receive services on campus

STUDENTS and staff of the Institute of Business Studies University have been offered to open new accounts at Bank South Pacific. The students and staff were also offered to register for Visa debit cards and e-banking services (mobile banking and internet banking). IBSU public relations executive Karen-Marie Lillie said some students and staff did not have the time to travel to the bank in Port Moresby to open accounts. “Through this arrangement, the school is able to provide reference and support our students to open accounts,” Lillie said. “We are also very grateful that BSP staff took time to bring this service to our campus.” Students can use a Sumatin account where family or sponsor can transfer money electronically to. They can check their balance on their mobile phones. Having bank accounts for students and staff has also assisted the management in minimising security risks through the handling of cash payments every pay week. “We now have all our staff from the cleaner to the executive level with bank accounts. “This is also possible, because BSP is able to visit our school to facilitate this.”
